design by Jo

Located in Parma, OH, Design by Jo is a wedding invitation company. A family-owned company, they provide couples with custom, expertly crafted paper goods for their wedding. For owner Joanna, art has always been both a passion and a career. She approaches each new project with her signature energy and creativity, wanting to exceed her client’s expectations. Jo grew up with two creative parents and spent her life surrounded by art. One semester away from graduating from the University of Akron, she was offered a job as a graphic designer for a local funeral home. This taught her how to understand people’s visions and incorporate them into her designs. It emphasized the important role that her creations can play in people’s memory. Jo is happy to help couples define and establish the tone of their special day through their wedding stationery. Each piece created by design by Jo is handmade by Jo herself, guaranteeing an original product every time. Her designs are made to be an extension of the couple and their wedding’s theme, whether through color or a sweet photo of the pair. Be it with a simple floral design or a bold graphic motif, invitations are eye-catching and thoughtfully constructed using high-quality materials. To let loved ones know to begin their preparations, design by Jo can create save-the-dates and invitations for engagement parties or wedding showers. During the wedding, she can provide pieces like signs, programs, seating charts, menus, place cards, and table numbers to help things run smoothly. Thank-you cards can then be designed for the perfect finishing touch. Through her products, Jo wants to create something timeless that you can proudly display as a keepsake from your wedding.
